JOBS Program Germany for health promotion among the unemployed in the community setting with institutions for employment promotion (JobsProgramDtl): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(2021-02-01)
Background
Compared to the employed, the unemployed are characterized by a substantially worse health status, particularly with regards to mental health. At the same time, conventional offers of prevention and health promotion rarely reach the unemployed. The JOBS Program is a health promotion program that combines job application training with elements of social learning theory and self-efficacy. Randomized field studies in the USA and Finland found significant positive effects on reintegration into the labor market ...

Von sub\urban zu Pro:Polis?
(2022-06-22)
Die Jubiläumsausgabe von sub\urban widmet sich unter dem Titel „sub\x“ vor allem aktuellen Positionen des Urbanen. Dieser Beitrag hingegen widmet sich vor allem möglichen Alternativen des sub, das die Perspektive der Redaktion auf das Städtische beschreibt. Aus dem Sub wird ein Trans, ein Re, ein Pro, ein Post und ein Ko. Mit jeder Veränderung der Vorsilbe – und damit des Blickwinkels auf das Urbane – tritt ein anderer Aspekt der Stadt und des Städtischen, der Stadtproduktion und -planung sowie nicht zuletzt der ...

The many faces of Post-Development: alternatives to development in Tanzania, Iran and Haiti
(2022-06-21)
Post-Development, a body of transitional imaginaries, is not homogenous, neither in its critique, nor in the alternatives proposed. Given that the term ‘development’ is already highly contentious, the question of what ‘alternatives to development’ might be, becomes difficult to respond to. In this article, we argue that Post-Development can assume many faces that are highly dependent upon their conceptual and geographical contexts. In analysing practices of resistance, contestation and subversion in Tanzania, Iran ...

Societal Evaluation of Bioeconomy Scenarios for Germany
(2022-05-05)
Transitioning to a bio-based economy is widely perceived as a necessary way to tackle climate change and other key environmental challenges. Given the major socio-economic consequences that such a transition entails for people’s everyday lives, it is crucial to take account of citizens’ perceptions and levels of acceptance of these changes. This study applies a holistic approach to gain an understanding of how citizens in Germany assess possible developments associated with transitioning to a bioeconomy. We developed ...

Loneliness and Emancipation: A Multilevel Analysis of the Connection between Gender Inequality, Loneliness, and Social Isolation in the ISSP 2017
(2022-06-17)
The present article analyzes the connection between, on the one hand, gender equality and, on the other hand, loneliness and social isolation. It hypothesizes that modern relational institutions that support gender equality, such as no-fault divorce laws, reduce loneliness in close relationships. This hypothesis is put to the test through a multilevel analysis of the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) 2017. The analysis reveals that the data agree, to a large extent, with the theoretical arguments. The ...

Peer Counseling: Method, Metaphor, or Mindset?
(2022-07-22)
Peer Counseling and Peer-to-Peer-Counseling are two common counseling formats worldwide where people meet each other at eye level. Rooted in the Independent Living and Self-Help Movement, “classic” Peer Counseling can be considered a professional counseling service offered by and for people with disabilities. In this article, the question is explored whether Peer Counseling is far more reaching than just being labeled as a counseling method. In many countries, it has now found a permanent place in the counseling ...

Gender Representations Elicited by the Gender Star Form
(2022-02-28)
In many languages, masculine language forms are not only used to designate the male gender but also to operate in a generic fashion. This dual function has been found to lead to male biased representations when people encounter the generic masculine. In German, the now predominant substitute is the gender star form (e.g., Athlet*innen). In two experiments, we examined gender representations elicited when reading the gender star form (vs. generic masculine vs. pair forms). We found that, following the generic masculine, ...

Living locked down – An autoethnographic approach to strategies of adaption to confined living in north Hesse, Germany
(2022-09-07)
Based on autoethnographic observations and phenomenological descriptions of everyday life, this article develops a theory about the connection between challenging housing experiences and the lockdown situation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. A special focus is placed on living in community, i.e. living permanently together with other people. The reorganisation of spatial routines and the bundling of these in the flat led to the development of new methods of everyday life in terms of work, leisure and social ...

Phenomena-centered Text Analysis (PTA): a new approach to foster the qualitative paradigm in text analysis
(2021-12-06)
Content or text analysis is one of the most common evaluation methods employed in qualitative research. Despite its wide application, however, a clear structure of how such evaluation should be conducted is often lacking due to the complexity of qualitative data. As a consequence, highly differentiated category systems with small-step subdivisions of categories and sub-categories are often used, leading to a loss of context both among categories and for the content as a whole.
The aim of this paper is to describe ...
